Safeway NorCal switches to all USDA Choice Beef

Post by storewanderer »

Wow, that was fast. Goodbye Rancher's Reserve. Now the beef is just marked USDA Choice and in white foam packages.

I know Vons made this switch a while ago.

Vons completed the switch just before Labor Day 2014. It prompted Ralphs non-Fresh Fare locations to also switch from USDA Select to USDA Choice at the same time (Ralphs Fresh Fare has always had USDA Choice and some Prime).

Kroger's Smith's in Las Vegas should. Their non-graded beef looks horrible.
